The protesters were denouncing the president and carrying a sign calling him a butcher.
They scuffled briefly with supporters of Mubarak amid a massive security presence.
Mubarak was hospitalised during an investigation over allegations of corruption and violence against protesters, state TV reported.
In a sign that his ailment might not be very serious, however, the Justice Minister said the former president was now being questioned in the hospital.
The 82-year-old Mubarak was deposed February 11 after 18 days of popular protests and has been under house arrest in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for the last two months.
The public prosecutor announced on Monday he was under investigation.
The Justice Minister said Mubarak was being investigated over his role in the violence against protesters during the uprising in which more than 800 people died.
The investigation into corruption charges would be carried out later by the Justice Ministry's anti-corruption department, he said.
